Request: Language Model: German

Requesting "German language model"

[Pictor13]

That would be really useful.

Does the app author need to train the model for each language, or is it possible to use other models available on the web?

[abb128]

Finetuned whisper tiny/base/small models can be used. Most finetuned whisper models are of the large variant which is much too big to reasonably run on an Android phone, however there are some that are tiny/base/small. We'll be working on a solution that'll allow you to use these.

Is there a solution yet?

[Pictor13]

Tiny/Base/Small are corresponding to quantized models, or those could be quantized further?

Are the models to finetune manually for a specific language? If yes, what are the main steps so we could generate a model to support also German language?
Or those models would work fine out of the box?

Also I'm not sure if finetuning and training are different things. AI-n00b here; still need to figure out how to perform them.
